    A WASHINGTON POST BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR

    DON’T CALL ME A FIXER. THIS ISN’T HBO.

    As the unofficial “problem solver” for Silicon Valley’s most ruthless venture capitalist, Mackenzie Clyde’s an expert at wrangling tech bros and their multimillions—even as her own shot at a windfall remains just out of reach.

    But now she’s playing for higher stakes. Because the lightning-rod CEO of tech’s hottest startup has just been murdered, leaving behind billions in “dead money” frozen in his will—and Mackenzie’s boss is the company’s chief investor.

    With a fortune on the line and the official investigation going nowhere, it’s up to Mackenzie to step in and resolve things, fast.

    Mackenzie’s a lawyer, not a detective. Cracking this fiendishly clever killing, with its list of suspects that reads like a who’s-who of Valley power players, should be way out of her league.

    Except Mackenzie’s used to being underestimated. In fact, she’s counting on it.

    “Terrific . . . filled with jaw-dropping twists and turns . . . an unpredictable nesting-box of surprises.”—The New York Times Book Review (Best Thrillers of the Year So Far)
